I like Blue Bloods and CSINY. If any of the shows that are being considered for cancellation have to go I guess it should be NY. It has had a long run and I would like to see The Mentalist and Blue Bloods have a couple of more seasons.
Might NBC be finally doing something right for once? Fridays look Rock solid and once Grimm finally returns, they might be in good shape. Two days down, five to go.
I seem to recall certain people saying Nikita will never get 0.5 again… funny.
Let’s make this simple: it didn’t get adjusted down, it isn’t the lowest-rated show on the network, it isn’t getting cancelled, and it isn’t moving to the summer (unless you’re under the impression that The CW wants to be stuck with TWO empty Friday slots for next fall). You may hate the show with the passion of a thousand blazing suns (for utterly irrational reasons, but that’s another matter), but it may be time to accept that it isn’t going anywhere until May 2014. And frankly, when it does, I’ll be pleaseed that it made a dignified exit when its story was concluded, rather than go on forever and ever and become crap.

Touch is dead. It’s doing worse than Fringe but it’s only in its second season.
last man standing great show must be renewed
